It’s a "double brat and a beer on the deck" type of weekend – WQOW TV News 18

After the wintry mix and colder temperatures set in Thursday night, Friday started cold with wind chills falling into the single digits. Friday will only get into the mid 30's but wind speeds will settle down in the afternoon.

As a high pressure system moves in for the weekend we'll see a wonderful warm up that we haven't had in over 131 days. October 27th was the last time we got above 50 degrees and October 21st was the last time we broke 60.

We're set to hit both this weekend!

Sunny skies across the board with the high pressure center keeping things clear. This will develop a southwest breeze for Saturday and Sunday though that will transport the warmer temperatures into western Wisconsin.

Wind speeds will be from the west-southwest at 10 to 20 mph. There will be a few extra clouds mixing in Sunday as a low pressure system aims to bring light rain to Wisconsin to start next week.

Don't forget we spring ahead Saturday night so set the clocks forward, and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This is a good time to change their batteries.

Otherwise, the longer term forecast shows consistent 40+ highs and a few shots at rain. The warmer trend is still around as we head into the second week of March.
